Well the things are the widest part of the car now.....and stick the furthest out in the front and rear. My late Sentra was scraped in parking lots (on the rear) at that exact spot at least four different times. I was constantly having to repair the bumper (paint jobs).

Hopefully these things will do as they should.....protect the bumper from minor impacts. I bought five packages of the things when they were on clearance...$2 ea. So I'm set for life with bumper guards......
